DBES - As mentioned last week, we are collecting all technology, library books and any other school owned materials this Tuesday, from 12pm to 6pm, and Wednesday, from 8am to 3:00pm
We will also hand back any student items left in the classrooms at the same time.
Please pull up to the main entrance of the school; have your child's name, grade and teacher taped to the passenger windshield; have the passenger seat empty and place the items to return in the passenger seat. Do not get out of the car. A staff member will collect the school items and also bring the personal items to the car.
We hope you enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day. We will see you tomorrow or Wednesday.
